Here’s an easy way to save some bucks on your Directv bill.  If you have a Tivo unit it’s easy and you’ll probably not even notice a change…

  • Go through your Tivo and select loads of programs to be recorded in the coming week.
  • After your Tivo has recorded a few weeks of programs go to the Directv website, login, and change your programming to the lowest setting which for me is the Family Plan.
  • Over the next week just watch programs loaded on your Tivo and the basic channels available on Directv. Trust me you’ll never miss the premium channels.
  • When your Tivo starts to run out just go back to Directv and up your programming level to what you had.

If you’re like me and just watch a few programs after work you probably won’t miss the programming change.  Cool thing is Directv lets you make programming changes on the fly in real time.  I haven’t made more than two changes a month so I don’t know if there is a limit.
